P90X With 710 ESPN Seattle’s, Brock Huard

Brock Huard, former Seattle Seahawks and University of Washington Huskies QB, started doing P90X workouts recently. Brock is the latest athlete that has found P90X to be a great home fitness workout. Brock will be added to the list of celebrities and athletes using P90X. Ashley Wellington-Fahey, of Fit In The City, recently checked in with Brock Huard and P90X:

Brock Huard Talks About P90X

About a month in a half ago, I spoke with 710 ESPN Seattle’s, Brock Huard regarding his recent fitness endeavor, P90X - one of the latest and greatest at home workout systems that incorporates not only a variety of exercises that keep you from plateauing, but also a strict and useful nutritional plan to assist in the process of gaining maximum results. Brock is just past his midway mark of the 90 day plan, so I thought I’d check in with him.

According to Brock he’s lost 10 pounds so far, and noticed that his back has been feeling better than it has in a long time (being a former NFL and Pac 10 Quarter Back, back issues are a likely cause for our midday co-host). Beyond losing weight and finding some relief in his back, he says he’s upped the number of reps he can do on the pull-ups and begun to notice that the core work has been helping him the most.

I LOVE IT! P90X continues to NEVER need a paid endorsement by celebrities or athletes…if you follow the workouts, follow the nutrition plan…the results speak for themselves! I look forward to seeing what Brock Huard has to say about his P90X workouts after he’s finished the 90 days.

Pink was on the Oprah Show with good ol’ Oprah Winfrey. Oprah, as you’ll see in this clip, (if you haven’t seen it already) learns from Pink that P90X is one of the BIG reasons she is in such good physical fitness. I had wrote about her story in an earlier post:

Pink Rocks P90X Workouts On Tour

Are you thinking about getting P90X because of Pink talking about it? I’d love to hear your thoughts. Take action and get your own beach body with P90X!

“P90X Changed My Life Forever” was the first phrase that caught my attention in my Google feeds the other day, so I read my way through how a 31 year old mother of 3 kids age 8, 7 and 2 experienced the powerful benefits of following the P90X workout. The best part of her blog piece was not just how she has been changing physically (and her growing passion for fitness), but the FANTASTIC humor she shows off in putting together her “Top 10 Ways You Know You’re Obsessed With P90X“

Check it out:

For all of you who are already P90x’ers, here’s a laugh for you:

Top 10 Ways You Know You’re Obsessed With P90X

1.   on Thursday your child asks you what day it is and you say “Yoga”
2.   you go to a Mexican restaurant and order a “chaturanga”
3.   you say “BRING IT”  in any motivational setting you find yourself in
4.   you tell yourself to “get sexy with it” when trying to wiggle into the frog
5.   When you put on your resume that you have a degree in “PLYOMETRICS”
6.   after 30 minutes or more of sexual activity you have a recovery drink
7.   before starting anything, you have to do at least 5 min of static/ ballistic stretching
8.   when Tony says “Superman” your 2 year old replies with … “banana”
9.   you REALLY expect (and anticipate) Tony Horton to come to your house if you do 26 side tri-rises or MORE!

Hahaha I love it! Hope you did too.

Have a great day!

Last week, I started keeping a weekly accountability series of posts on my P90X Lean workouts to start off 2010 and here we are with week number 2 of my P90X Lean routine.

P90X Lean Workout Routine – Week Two

Day 1 – Core Synergistics – “Superman/Banana” and “Dreya rolls” definitely fire up your core muscles. I still struggle with the Dreya rolls due to my right knee.
Day 2 – Cardio X – this is still a workout I enjoyed. Really end up sweating.
Day 3 – Shoulders & Arms, Ab Ripper X – still using light weight resistance bands because of my right shoulder and my neck so shoulders and arms were not nearly as sore as my abs were the next day.
Day 4 – Yoga X – STRUGGLED with this workout! Not a lot changed here…except that I was able to go 5 minutes longer than last week’s workout.
Day 5 – Legs & Back, Ab Ripper X – my right knee wasn’t AS sore/tender after this workout as it was after last week’s workout…and my abs are STILL sore from the last Ab Ripper X workout again! Owww…
Day 6 – Kenpo X – my range of motion in my kicks on my right side is far limited in comparison to my left side…but it didn’t hurt, so that was encouraging.
Day 7 – Rest or X Stretch – for me…this is an “active” rest day today for week two of P90X Lean. No stretch workout for me. Instead, I went to the gym with my wife so I could hit the stationary bike for 45 minutes of cardio.

Well, that’s it for me. Just a quick post to keep myself accountable to this process of my P90X Lean workouts.

Well the first week of my P90X Lean workouts is in the books. And I am SORE!!!! What a way to start off the new year. I’m so thankful I’ve been drinking the P90X Recovery Drink, or I’d not be able to get out of bed! P90X Lean is no joke! One of the biggest mistakes people make when they start P90X is they try too hard the first week. Start off with 60-70% intensity. Learn the moves…don’t kill yourself. Even at 70% for me this week, I’m very sore!

P90X Lean Workout Routine – Week One

Day 1 – Core Synergistics – are you kidding me? OUCH…and can you say, “Banana” or “Dreya rolls”? haha that was a hard workout.
Day 2 – Cardio X – I enjoyed this workout.
Day 3 – Shoulders & Arms, Ab Ripper X – OWWWWWWWW…Ab Ripper X. 300 moves!
Day 4 – Yoga X – I am going to STRUGGLE with this workout! I am not flexible, need my yoga block and I’ve gotta be careful due to the herniated discs in my neck but I burned over 740 calories so that made my day!
Day 5 – Legs & Back, Ab Ripper X – legs were made of rubber after this workout…and my abs are STILL sore from the last Ab Ripper X workout!
Day 6 – Kenpo X – I kicked and punched my way through this workout and LOVE IT!
Day 7 – Rest or X Stretch – for me…this is a rest day today for week one of P90X Lean. I’m planning to go take a 30 minute walk around the neighborhood so I can log into the WOWY SuperGym and be qualified to win money from Beachbody just for working out! I’m always excited when the $1000 prize day comes around. But…I’m competitive with myself, so I still might do the stretch workout tonight.

Even after dozens upon dozens of 10 Minute Trainer workouts in 2009, they don’t compare to the intensity of P90X workouts! There are places on my body that I haven’t been sore at in YEARS! And this is only the first week! I’m looking forward to the next couple months of P90X Lean!

HUGE BONUS! I’m really excited that I have a dozen different friends and clients who have embarked on this 90 day challenge with me! We’re all connected on Facebook, so it’s fun to encourage each other and celebrate each others’ successes! It’s always great to have support group of people who share a common goal and vision! Getting lean…P90X Lean!

Tony Horton issues the P90X home fitness challenge to BRING IT! What a way to ring in the new year and new decade…90 days of P90X with Tony Horton. And that’s where my fitness journey brings me this year! The year of P90X and the transformation of Coach Tim Carter! Whoo hoo! This means a lot to me after the last couple of years.

Starting off 2010 with the P90X Lean series of workouts. Then it’ll be onto P90X Classic and ending off the year with P90X Doubles. It’s a challenge that Tony Horton issues on the P90X DVD’s “How to Bring it” video, he suggests trying the P90X lean, classic then doubles routine for extreme results. So how could I resist?

It’s been a long road on the home fitness path for me since 2005. Spring of ‘05 I was in a t-bone car accident caused by a guy running through an intersection. It took me over a year before I could be running and weightlifting without pain. I felt like my normal, active self. Playing co-ed softball, playing in disc golf tournaments…even thinking about running a half-marathon. But…

January 2008 found me in the middle another car accident (again I didn’t cause it)…this accident has been the LONG recovery process for me and easily could have put me in a wheelchair or six feet under. So I was blessed to be in the condition I was in. Several herniated discs in my neck. Constant muscle spasms, frequent headaches along with hardly getting a regular night of sleep had made workouts out fairly limited. By the end of 2008, the headaches were less intense, but the muscle spasms were still there…as was the new layer of belly fat that decided to creep on my stomach! So I decided to try P90X Lean workouts in a really limited and modified way. But experienced physical setbacks, so I stepped back my workouts. Though I DID lose body fat and gained muscle back! I was encouraged.

2009 was the year of Tony Horton’s 10 Minute Trainer workouts for me. Some days I’d feel pretty good and get two or three 10 minute workouts in. Days when I didn’t feel “great”, I’d still get in a short workout. I ended the year having logged in 274 workout in the WOWY SuperGym. All year was about making the transition from being injured, to healing and recovering. Not pushing too hard, but not being lazy. I broke the goal I set for the number of Beachbody workouts in one year I would do.

So to say that I’m excited about 2010 and starting my P90X Lean workouts today and P90X this year is a bit of an understatement. My goal with P90X is to get back into the physical condition to play in disc golf tournaments without pain, to be able to run without pain and ultimately slash my body fat percentage into single digits. Learn more about what is P90X Lean.

My plan here is to post weekly updates on my P90X Lean workouts as well as my transformation pictures during this year of P90X. I also plan to submit my physical transformation story after each round of my P90X workouts for the Million Dollar Body Game. I may even record a video or two as I continue to document my journey of living the Beachbody home fitness lifestyle. We’ll see.

I’m pretty nervous to see how my body will respond to full blown workouts of the intensity of P90X workouts. But I think that nervousness is like the nervous feeling I’d get in the moments leading up to lining up in the starting blocks for my 200m and 400m races back in my sprinting days. Fired up and focused.

Well, I should wrap this post up. I’ve still got to finish my P90X workout requirements of taking my measurements, take my pictures and get out my body fat tester. And push play on my 1st P90X workout of the new year! Next week, I’ll post my 1st week of P90X Lean along with my Day 1 numbers so we can see where I end up on Day 90!

What do you plan to do for your health & fitness in 2010? Your feedback and encouragement is ALWAYS welcome!

In the meantime, I strongly suggest adding P90X to your daily routine. It’s a life changer! Order P90X it today by clicking Add to Cart!

The P90X Lean Workout Program

P90X Lean is an alternative workout schedule of P90X for people who want more cardio and a less intense workout. Don’t get me wrong, P90X Lean is NOT EASY! P90X is called “extreme home fitness” for a reason. Tony Horton said there are three different P90X workouts: Lean, Classic & Doubles.

Each P90X workout are about an hour (1 DVD) each day, 6 days a week. The 7th day is either a day of rest or the X Stretch workout.

There are 3 phases to the P90X Lean program.

P90X Lean Phase 1 focuses on proper form and technique. Reps and weight will progress as you work through the program, maintaining good form is the goal during this first segment.

During P90X Lean Phase 2, you will begin to increase the amount of weight used for each exercise, as well as the number of reps completed. You’ll begin to notice dramatic improvements in your overall strength and conditioning during this phase.

P90X Lean Phase 3 focuses on pushing your body to the limit and maximizing the results seen from each and every workout. This is the final leg of the 3 phase journey, and it’s no holds barred!

Pop superstar, Pink, is on the cover of Women’s Health for their newest issue slim down special “Flat Sexy Abs” ringing in 2010. Pink is one of a growing number of “celebrities” like Demi Moore, Sheryl Crow, Poppy Montgomery, Jenny Garth, Roselyn Sanchez, and Jeremy Camp are a small example of who have come to see the results of what us non-celebrities know…P90X works! Beachbody doesn’t need paid endorsements for P90X. There’s no secret or magic pill to losing weight and looking great…hard work & dedication to eating right bring RESULTS with P90X!

In the article, Pink talks about her life, her relationships and how hard she works to stay in shape. With the busy life of a rockstar on tour, she makes sure that fitness is a priority for her on a daily basis:

“Ever hear of P90X? My brother and his wife are both in the Air Force; they do marathons and triathlons. I went [to visit them and she’s doing P90X]. I couldn’t keep up with her — and she’d just had her first baby four weeks ago. I was like, This is bullshit! I will perfect this thing! So usually, I wake up and do an hour of cardio, then an hour of P90X or yoga, then a half-hour of warm-up [during show rehearsal]. I do that six days a week.”

Nothing stops Pink from getting in her P90X workout or just working out on a daily basis. She caught fire wanting to master the workout. Pink understands that in order to keep looking great after the 20lbs she recently lost, she needs to workout…even while on the road!

P90X Doesn’t Work…does it? Come on, P90X is a slick and shiny TV infomercial with some amazing transformation stories, but it can’t possibly work for everyone right?

If you’re tired of the gym and paying for a gym membership or paying for a personal trainer and are looking for a challenging home fitness program and you’re wondering about the P90X TV infomercial…Does P90X work, really?…well, you’ve come to the right place. The answer is: “Absolutely YES!”

But…as with any fitness workout plan, you have to WORK OUT! You have to completely commit to the workout program for the duration of the 90 day workout, set realistic goals based on your health, your fitness level and follow the nutrition plan that’s provided with the P90X workout plan.

Here are some of the most common questions I receive as a Beachbody Coach from people wondering if it’s for real…does P90X work?

Does P90X work for all fitness levels?

Yes! P90X can indeed work to help people of all fitness levels achieve higher standards of fitness.

Remember, P90X IS an Extreme Home Fitness Workout Program! Designed for people in decent physical shape. Of course, if you’re new to fitness, you will likely not be able to finish the workouts early on and you will need to modify some of the exercise programs to make them DO-able based on your fitness abilities. If you’re already in great shape, you’ll likely train with HARD to get maximize the results that the P90X workouts provide.

Regardless of your level of fitness, you’ll get better results from any program if you set realistic, achievable goals. One of the biggest pitfalls I’ve seen as a Beachbody Coach in following an extreme fitness program like P90X is having unrealistic expectations, which may lead to over-training and quitting P90X becomes likely.

Does P90X work to burn fat fast?

Yes, P90X does work to burn fat…IF you stick to the P90X nutrition plan, as well as the exercise plan, then you’ll see a noticeable reduction in your body fat percentage well before the 90 day program is over. Those people who throw themselves into the exercise program and ignore the diet will not see such incredible results.

How does P90X work to burn fat?

The P90X program is designed around muscle confusion. Workouts that target all areas of fitness: strength, cardiovascular, flexibility. The variety provided in the P90X workout keeps your body from hitting the weight loss plateau, which often happens after the first month of fitness training, when your body becomes accustomed to your workout plan and physical results become less noticeable.

P90X workouts also increases lean muscle mass and it’s been proven that each pound of muscle in a person’s body burns more than 10 calories a day while at rest. Throw in a COMPLETE nutrition plan, your body will become a fat burning machine! However, if you decide to only perform the workouts you enjoy the most, or you choose not to follow the nutrition plan, you won’t get the results you were hoping for when you purchased the P90X program.

In a nutshell…“does P90X work for everyone?”  The answer is no, it doesn’t. The BIGGEST REASON WHY P90X doesn’t work for people…they don’t follow the plan, they don’t do the work, they don’t follow the diet…or they quit.

P90X only works for those people who are dedicated to the entire program…the workouts AND the nutrition! Who set achievable goals for themselves and who follow a healthy nutrition plan while following the P90X workout program. As long as you are medically able to perform moderate exercise, P90X can be the lifestyle program to achieving all of your fitness and weight loss goals.

Download P90X for FREE!

Been looking for a “Free P90X” site to “Download the P90X DVD For Free” or find the best “Download the P90X Torrent” online? Then look no further. Over the last year, people on a daily basis email me about where they can download P90X DVDs or find the best P90X torrent since this site is all about Beachbody and the Home Fitness Revolution.

I think “How Do I Download P90X for Free” has been one of the top 5 questions I’ve received this year.

You watched the P90X infomercial on TV, you really want to do P90X workouts but the $119.85 price to buy P90X was more than you wanted to spend. So you started searching for the best deals on P90X including FREE! Maybe you typed in “free P90X download” or “download P90X for free” into Bing or Google hoping to find P90X free. It’s almost instinct nowadays to do a search. You can find almost anything for “free” on the Internet these days.

BUT…

You do realize when you download something for free that wasn’t meant to be free it’s called stealing? No way to sugar coat that one.

P90X is not free and it’s not sold for anything less than $119.85 retail. Beachbody does not give away a product they spent millions of dollars developing for free. They don’t allow downloads of P90X videos.

You take a HUGE risk if you download P90X! They don’t care if they give you an incomplete P90X program. It could be a download with a virus that ruins your computer. They don’t care if that P90X workout program you downloaded was pirated and the videos don’t always work or are missing parts of the workout and important things like the P90X Nutrition book for example! And then you’ve wasted a lot time downloading an inferior product with no support or guarantee.

If you choose to “download P90X” from a torrent site instead of buying from Beachbody or Independent Beachbody Coaches like myself…you support stealing whether you admit it or not. Plain and simple. I can’t put it any other way.

There is a MASSIVE reason why companies don’t give away their products for free. Their BUSINESS depends on it and it’s how they support their families and the families of their employees. They must get paid and without over 1 MILLION people having purchased P90X since it came out, Beachbody would probably be out of business. Excuse me…they WOULD be out of business! Then there would be no P90X Plus, no Power 90, there would be no Tony Horton One-on-One Workouts. There would be no home fitness revolution!

So…you have a couple of choices at this point.

You can click off this site having decided, you’re going to “download P90X for free” anyways…

or…

You decide that this makes complete sense. And that you want to buy P90X from an authorized source. You get a 30 day money back guarantee from Beachbody. And you get incredible support towards your fitness goals with P90X from me as your home fitness Coach.

So what are you going to do?

Here’s your answer. I recommend you signing up as a Beachbody Coach. You’ll get a 25% discount on all Beachbody products!

Don’t “download P90X for free” or get the “P90X torrent” because it will not be everything you need to be successful with P90X! Invest in your health. Buy P90X!

I am here to help you!
